O.K. - Hailey is officially growing up way too fast! She turns two years old in less than two weeks, and every night we pick her up from daycare, I am amazed at what she knows.
She communicates so well now. If I thought it felt strange when she started to parrot words and understand their meaning, I am now completely flabbergasted when she initiates the conversation herself. She talks so much now that writing down the words she knows is impossible. Even with the incredible volume of things she says now, there are some things that stand out...

* She often calls her daddy "Nate" - which I think is the cutest thing ever.
* If you sneeze, she will say 'Bless You'
* She loves to sing - 'Row Row Row Your Boat' and 'Itsy Bitsy Spider'.
* She is very good with 'Thank You' but 'Please' often needs a reminder.
Unfortunately, she has also discovered the dirtiest four letter word in history..."MINE"
I really hate that word.
Potty training is back on again. She will grab your hand and say 'potty' four times in an hour - and the crazy thing is that she really goes... four times an hour. When she does potty, she screams at the top of her lungs with excitement, and sings "Go Hailey, Go Hailey, Go...Go...Go Hailey" ** note to self - I must get video of that. Up to this point, we haven't done one ounce of potty training, she just naturally took to it - number 2 is still an issue, but that will come in time.
Besides going potty, she also loves taking baths, washing her hands (after potty), and brushing her teeth with toothpaste.
I know this age goes by fast. I look at infants and sometimes wish that she was a baby again, so I could snuggle with her for hours. However, even with the 'mines' and the tantrums and her opinions about things (that have suddenly appeared) - watching her interact with the world around her has been the best time of my life.
